Profile:
A string of notable performances around the domestic circuit
pitchforked Vijay Yadav into the Indian team in the early 90s. A
capable wicketkeeper with an excellent record of catches behind the
stumps - keeping to Kapil Dev and Chetan Sharma for Haryana must have
helped - Yadav was also a lower order batsman who liked to score runs
at a nifty rate. Indeed his batting and keeping seemed to be a natural
for limited overs cricket and he did play in a good number of such
games for the country in the early and mid 90s. He was given the big
break in the one off Test against Zimbabwe in 1993 and performed
creditably both behind the stumps and in front of them.
Yadav played a notable part in Haryana's Ranji Trophy triumph of
1990-91, getting runs handsomely and effecting 24 catches and six
stumpings. He did even better with the bat the next season besides
snaring another 25 victims. These performances saw him picked for the
1992-93 tour of South Africa as understudy to Kiran More. Following
his Test debut against Zimbabwe, he went on the tour of Sri Lanka in
1993-94 again as understudy to More. But even as More's international
career ground to a halt, Mongia overtook Yadav for the coveted
position as India's No 1 wicketkeeper. The Baroda stumper stayed there
and Yadav's appearances thereafter were restricted to a few ODI's.
